Worried about meps UA

[Zephyros91tsi]

Hey guys, as the title states, i'm joining the military soon and don't know if i'll be able to pass the meps UA.

I'm 19, 160 lbs, 6'0''. I started smoking on new years of '09 (not even two years ago) and i slowly became a regular, 3+ times daily smoker. I don't know if i'd call myself a heavy smoker but me and a few friends would smoke an eighth of medical chronic (yeah i ended up getting my med licenses, colorado is cool like that) in 2-3 days. I quit smoking on june 5th and have been smoke free for 11 days so far. Today my recruiter told me i'm going up to meps on july 1st. I've been going to the gym three days a week and i run at least 2 miles each day i'm there. Starting this week i'll be running 4 days a week for a total of 11 miles weekly.

I understand nothing will get you clean overnight, but i'm going to start taking niacin daily since it couldn't hurt to try.. I'm just curious if 26 days will be enough to get me clean given my size and physical activity.

Thanks for taking your time to read this, and any input or suggestions will be greatly appreciated


Edit: on june 1st i received a free half oz. for signing up with a certain dispensary and it took me and 3-4 friends 5 days to smoke it all. After that i stopped smoking. I dont know if that helps but its just a little more info to go off of

What is "meps" if it is a simple UA, as active as you are, you should be fine if you are working with 26 days !

Invest in a Home Test Kit ( via CVS/Walgreens) about the 3rd week to be
sure- in the mean time Behave ! :)

I am not a expert at this, but I easily passed the Home Test at approx 30
days- Like you, I spent a lot of time on the bike trails- via feet.

Anyway Good Luck

I understand nothing will get you clean overnight, but i'm going to start taking niacin daily since it couldn't hurt to try.. Niacin does nothing and will do nothing to rid the body of THC nor help pass a U/A. Not overnite nor at any time. Its an old urban myth.

There is no product that can rid the body of THC. Only time and exercise can do this.

I was under the impression that niacin has a thermogenic effect resulting in increased metabolism, thus more fat burned and decreasing the amount of thc thats in you every so slightly...

Is this not true?

And where did you obtain this info from? Please link to some credible sources that specifically state that niacin has an effect on THC metabolization.

[Zephyros91tsi]

Well I didn't come here to argue a point that I'm sure has been beaten to death, so forget I mentioned it. But since you asked, I got my info from the last post on page one from... http://boards.cannabis.com/drug-testing/87883-nicotinic-acid-vitamin-b3-niacin.html ... Now i was originally asking if this is true because that is definitely not a credible source, but if niacin does possess thermogenic properties, then i would think it can effect THC metabolization. If not... I guess i'll bust out the clenbuterol.

Anyway, could you link some credible sources that specifically state how exercise has an effect on THC metabolization?

Oh yeah that should deffinatly be enough time. My metabalism is really slow and I'm a lazy ass and all I did was drink a ton of cranberry juice and water and took niacin and I was clear by three weeks, maybe less. You're good:thumbsup:

Alright, thanks a bunch highasarobin :D
